🌱 Getting Started with Your PlantPico Terrarium

Welcome to PlantPico! Your terrarium has been carefully prepared and protected for safe delivery. Follow these steps to unbox it properly and learn the basics of care during the first week.

📦 Unboxing & Setup

Follow these steps immediately after receiving your terrarium:

1. Take the terrarium out of the box carefully — hold it from the base to avoid pressure on the glass.

2. Remove the outer plastic wrap — this keeps the terrarium sealed during transit.

3. Take out the cotton padding — we use soft cotton inside to protect the plants and preserve the arrangement.

4. Remove the protective towels around the plants — gently lift them out to let your plants breathe. Sometimes this white material may look like mold, but don’t worry — it’s only the protective cover we use. Just remove all the white pieces from the top of the plants.

5. Take off the plant protectors — these are small coverings placed on delicate leaves or stems.

6. Clean gently — wipe the glass if it has smudges from shipping, and remove any leaves that may have dropped during transit.

7. Inspect your terrarium — make sure the glass is intact and the plants look healthy.

👉 Note: Your terrarium is already fully assembled. You don’t need to add soil, plants, or decorations. Just place it in the right spot and enjoy!

🌞 First-Week Care Essentials

• 💧 Watering: Only when the top layer looks dry — usually 1–2 times per week. For more detailed guidance, explore our Terrariums Care Tips to find care instructions for each model.

• ☀️ Light: Place your terrarium in bright, indirect sunlight or under a soft desk lamp. Avoid harsh direct rays.
  If your terrarium came with a lamp, you can safely use it for about 8 hours per day to keep your plants healthy.

• 🌡️ Temperature: Keep at normal room temperature (18–26°C / 65–78°F).

• 🚫 Avoid: Overwatering, extreme heat, or placing outside.

❓ Common Questions

“My plants look weak after arrival. Are they dying?”
→ They may be adjusting from shipping. Keep them in indirect light and mist lightly — most bounce back within a few days.

“What if my terrarium develops mold?”
→ Reduce watering and increase airflow. Wipe the glass gently with a soft cloth, and try to carefully clean any visible mold from the plants or soil.

“Can I use fertilizer?”
→ Not necessary at first. After 2–3 months, a tiny amount of diluted liquid fertilizer can help, but always use sparingly.

“A plant didn’t survive, what should I do?”
→ Covered by our 30-Day Free Replacement Policy. Please contact us at support@plantpico.com with photos of the issue, and we’ll send you fresh plants at no extra cost.
